"The Mighty Fair was
a once-in-a-lifetime experience. How utterly absurd that the
experience is so forgetable. ...[B]ehind its limited vision lurks
a giant that never knew its own strength. History has a place
for this event."
-The Fair that Didn't Know
its Own Strength, exerpted, Catalogue Essay by Marc Solomon
N.Y. City Mayor Ed Koch viewing a full scale
replica (with cutout window to view contents) of the 1965 Westinghouse
Time Capsule with David Oats, co-curator of The Mighty Fair,
a retrospective exhibition on the 1964-65 New York World's Fair
held at The Flushing Gallery, June-October 1985.

webmaster's note... The exhibition catalogue featured here
has always been one of my favorite collectibles -- and it isn't
even from the Fair itself. I am so pleased that Dave Oats has
provided nywf64.com with
the opportunity to present it on-line so that everyone who visits
this website can relive this wonderful exhibition from twenty
years ago that celebrated the Fair. Thank you, Dave, for this
great look back at a Mighty Fair!
